Cangling Immortal Clan

The first five stages of cultivation in the Void Refinement Realm are not too difficult. With enough time and resources, most Void Refinement Supremes can theoretically cultivate to the fifth stage of Void Refinement.

However, the difficulty increases significantly as you progress. The vast majority of Void Refinement Supremes can only reach the fifth level in their entire lives, and only the best among them can cultivate to the sixth level.

However, those who can reach the seventh level of Void Refinement are basically the top talents in Void Refinement. Even in the Human Race Holy Temple, they are considered true disciples. Such beings can basically survive seven Void Refinement tribulations.

In other words, they could live for over seven million years.

As for the realm lords at the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm in the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, they all succeeded in breaking through because they received the blessing of the Great Thousand Worlds.

The fundamental reason is that after exceeding seven laws, the repulsion between laws will suddenly increase dramatically, and the difficulty of cultivation will increase several times over.

Therefore, even for Ye Linyuan now, it is extremely difficult to cultivate the eighth law.

"With my current foundation and resources, it would take me at least tens of thousands of years to cultivate the eighth law."

"Next, I will fill my mana with magic power and, in the process, elevate the foundation of all cultivation arts and supernatural abilities."

Ye Linyuan muttered to himself, then began refining the Chaos Pearl, but found that the progress was still quite slow.

So he temporarily gave up on refining spirits and began to make up for his own shortcomings by cultivating the Myriad Transformations Immortal Body and the Path of Divine Soul.

With the help of abundant resources and the Xuan Tian Qi, Ye Linyuan's cultivation of his primordial spirit and myriad transformation immortal body was a natural progression, and he reached the early stage of the Void Refinement realm in just tens of thousands of years.

The breakthroughs in his primordial spirit and physical body also greatly enhanced Ye Linyuan's combat power.

In particular, physical combat power, the upper limit of combat power on the path of physical sainthood is generally not as high as that on the path of immortality, but this path does not rely on various supernatural powers and spiritual treasures.

This time, as Ye Linyuan transformed from the Myriad Transformations Immortal Body into the Profound Heaven Saint Body, he absorbed a significant amount of Profound Heaven Qi at once, resulting in an extreme transformation in his physical combat power.

He can now defeat a fifth-level Void Refinement cultivator with just his physical strength. If he can further cultivate the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Technique, he will probably not be afraid of even a sixth-level Void Refinement cultivator.

This is only the initial formation of the Xuan Tian Body. Once he reaches the minor, major, or even perfect stages, Ye Linyuan's physical combat power will likely see a significant increase.

While the cultivation level of the primordial spirit doesn't significantly increase combat power, it can amplify the power of supernatural abilities and magical treasures. Once Ye Linyuan's supernatural abilities and magical treasures are upgraded, his strength will naturally increase greatly.

Indeed, after cultivating the Xuan Tian Body and Xuan Tian Primordial Spirit, Ye Linyuan began to focus his energy on cultivating supernatural powers and spiritual treasures.

As time went by, approximately three thousand years after the external calamity, Ye Linyuan transformed all his myriad transformation divine abilities into profound divine abilities, and even directly stepped into the realm of minor-completion profound divine abilities.

It is important to know that the Xuan Tian Divine Power is divided into four levels: Initial Insight, Minor Success, Major Success, and Breakthrough.

It's one thing to have a rudimentary understanding of the Profound Heaven Divine Power, but achieving a minor level of Profound Heaven Divine Power is not so easy. Most veteran Void Refinement Supremes at the fourth level of Void Refinement can only master one or two minor levels of Profound Heaven Divine Power.

The next level of Great Perfection Profound Heaven Divine Power is exclusive to the strong, and can generally only be mastered by those at the seventh level of Void Refinement.

As for the Void Refining Divine Power at the Breakthrough Level, it is similar to the Pure Yang Divine Power of the Fifth Order Super Grade, which can only be mastered by quasi-saint level figures.

Most quasi-saint level geniuses at the eighth level of the Void Refinement stage basically only master one signature Breaking Limit Divine Power.

This kind of supernatural power surpasses the ultimate of the Xuan Tian realm and has even embarked on the path of creation supernatural power. Those who can master more than three of these powers are basically saintly figures at the ninth level of the Void Refinement realm.

Ye Linyuan's Myriad Transformations Divine Power had reached the minor completion stage, and its power was already comparable to that of an ordinary major completion Xuan Tian Divine Power.

This brought about a qualitative change in Ye Linyuan's strength. With the support of various supernatural abilities, he now possessed almost genuine combat power at the seventh level of the Void Refinement Realm.

"Unfortunately, there has been little progress in magical power."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, then took out the Myriad Transformations Immortal Pagoda to examine it.

His magical power was too profound. The ultimate magical power of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Technique after advancing to the Void Refinement stage was even hundreds of times greater than that of the Void Refinement Supreme.

Yes, at this point, calculating the Myriad Transformations Immortal Technique with ten thousand times the base mana of the same level is meaningless.

Because those who reach the Refinement Void Supreme are all incredibly talented, their magical power cannot be calculated based on the levels of Primordial Spirit and Nascent Soul.

After undergoing the baptism of the laws, they have all been reborn. If they were to cut off everything and start over from the mortal realm, their magical power would be at least a hundred times that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.

Even so, Ye Linyuan's current magical power is still hundreds of times greater than that of an ordinary Void Refinement Supreme.

The sheer volume of power, hundreds of times greater than that of other cultivators at the same Void Refinement level, meant that Ye Linyuan needed to accumulate far too much mana.

Even with the boost of a hundred times the time flow, which is almost equivalent to cultivating in the human race's holy temple for nearly a million years, Ye Linyuan's cultivation level still stopped at the second level of the Void Refinement Realm.

"His cultivation level has reached the seventh level of the Void Refinement Realm, but his actual cultivation is still far from sufficient."

Ye Linyuan sighed inwardly. Although it was relatively easy to fill the bottle with water, it was as if there was a deep pool at the bottom of his large bottle.

There are ways to quickly improve one's cultivation level, including refining the Primordial Chaos Pearl and advancing to the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower.

Ye Linyuan cannot refine the Hunyuan Pearl for the time being, but he has refined the Water Spirit Pearl, which will enhance his ability to use it until he reaches the third level of the Void Refinement Perfection.

Currently, the only thing that can increase Ye Linyuan's cultivation speed is the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower.

Once this treasure is completely transformed into a supreme Xuan Tian treasure, its speed of converting the primordial energy of heaven and earth should be qualitatively improved, increasing Ye Linyuan's cultivation speed by more than ten times.

"Now that things have come to this, we must accelerate the advancement of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower."

Ye Linyuan murmured that the foundation of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower was too astonishing. Even with the blessing of a sixth-grade superior underground fire vein, it would probably take a long time to completely melt down thousands of Xuan Tian treasures.

Without mastering the laws of space, Ye Linyuan's time flow speed could only benefit himself, making it difficult for the sixth-order fire veins to also receive the time flow speed boost.

Therefore, we must find a way to quickly upgrade the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower to a Mysterious Heavenly Treasure.

With that thought in mind, Ye Linyuan left the secret hall and went to the secluded place of the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits.

"You came to find me to use the seventh-order fire vein to refine rare treasures and integrate them into the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower?"

When the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits spoke, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

Ye Linyuan nodded, then said solemnly, "With my current cultivation level, I am unable to control a seventh-order fire vein, so I would like to ask for your help, senior."

“Hmm.” The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits spoke, then said, “I am busy and cannot spare the time, but there is someone who may be able to help you.”

As he spoke, the corner of Wanling Daozu's mouth twitched slightly, as if he were sending out a message.

Soon after, a man in a gray robe entered the main hall, cupped his hands to the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits, and said, "Greetings, Master."

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits nodded, then looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "He is the number one weapon refiner of our human race. I think he should be able to help you."

"Go with him and ascend to the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower."

"Thank you, Daozu."

Ye Linyuan bowed and followed the gray-robed man out of the main hall.

On the way, Ye Linyuan sensed that this person's aura was as deep as the ocean, seemingly no weaker than Huan Yugui, so he cupped his hands to the gray-robed man and said, "May I ask how I should address you, senior?"

"Gui told me about you, that you are exceptionally talented and have unparalleled potential." The gray-robed man spoke calmly, then said indifferently, "We gray-robed people are all losers, and have long since hidden our identities, never to step out of the forbidden area of ​​the Holy Temple for the rest of our lives."

"So I don't have a name anymore, but you can call me by my code name—Huang."

"Huang?"

Ye Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly, showing considerable curiosity about the code names of these people.

The code names Gui, Huan, and Huang are all imposing and powerful, clearly not something an ordinary person is qualified to choose.

However, he was more concerned about another question and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you saying that the place we are in is a forbidden area of ​​the Holy Temple?"

"That's the way it is."

Huang spoke calmly, saying, "The forbidden area of ​​the Holy Temple is open to entry but not exit. Only the current Holy Son of the human race and the two Dao Ancestors who have achieved the Integration Stage can freely enter and exit this place."

"Only the Holy Son and the Dao Ancestor are allowed to enter and exit?"

Ye Linyuan was slightly taken aback, and then he understood why he had not seen many Void Refinement cultivators despite being at the Human Race Holy Temple for so long.

But after hesitating, he couldn't help but ask, "Can't I go out either?"

"As the current Holy Son, you are naturally free to come and go as you please."

Huang seemed to have not spoken to outsiders for a long time, and he said a few more words: "However, your cultivation is not high enough now, and if you want to go out, you will probably have to get the consent of the two Dao Ancestors."

"Wait a minute, am I the Holy Son?"

Ye Linyuan realized what was happening and showed a surprised expression.

He had been in the Human Race Temple for nearly ten thousand years, and this was the first time he had learned that he had become the Holy Son of Humanity.

Huang smiled, then explained calmly, "Although it hasn't been announced yet, the Holy Son's Decree is in your hands, so you can be considered the Hidden Holy Son."

Ye Linyuan took out the token and examined it for a moment before understanding why it had such high access privileges, granting it access to almost all of the human race's spiritual buildings and forbidden areas.

"Don't overthink it. The Holy Son of the Human Race may seem incredibly precious to outsiders, but he's nothing special within the Forbidden Land."

Huang spoke calmly, then said meaningfully, "If one day you fail to break through to the Integration Realm, you will become one of the gray-robed men in the Forbidden Land, just like us."

Ye Linyuan finally understood that this forbidden area of ​​the Holy Temple was the most unfathomable foundation of the human race, and those qualified to enter it were all peerless geniuses.

They are likely all former Holy Sons, or invincible figures comparable to Holy Sons.

Now that their cultivation has reached the half-step Integration stage, they will spend their lives guarding the forbidden area, becoming the foundation for its protection. However, to avoid leaks, they are not allowed to step out of the forbidden area.

"What secrets lie within this forbidden area that would make you willing to remain here for your entire lives?"

Ye Linyuan, curious, couldn't help but ask.

Huang shook his head and said calmly, "When you break through to the Integration Realm, or when you put on the gray robe, you will naturally understand what is hidden here."

Ye Linyuan didn't ask any more questions, but simply followed him quietly. Soon after, they arrived at the fire vein deep within the forbidden area.

The sacred land of the human race has a seventh-grade low-level fire vein, which is one of the more than thirty seventh-grade underground fire veins in the Longevity Heaven Realm.

Although it was only a seventh-grade low-level underground fire vein, the primordial fire it nurtured was something Ye Linyuan could not withstand.

Fortunately, the human race has an extraordinary foundation and had long ago built a seventh-order spiritual building called the "Immortal Refining Hall" here. It can control the power of the primordial immortal flame of the seventh-order fire vein for use in alchemy and weapon crafting.

At this moment, Huang brought Ye Linyuan to the underground fire vein and then said, "In the Eternal Heaven Realm, when it comes to talent in weapon crafting, our human race and the Refining Heaven Clan are ranked first."

"The other first place belongs to the Refining Heaven Clan. This lineage has an exceptional talent for weapon crafting and has mastered one of the most wondrous techniques in the world: the weapon crafting technique."

"Our human race's talent for weapon crafting is no less than theirs. We once had a Dao Ancestor who was skilled in weapon crafting, but unfortunately, since that Dao Ancestor, our human race has never had another Dao Ancestor who is skilled in weapon crafting."

As Huang recounted his story, a hint of sadness crept into his eyes.

He led Ye Linyuan to a refining furnace entwined with dragon patterns and said with a sigh, "In the past, our human race's ancestor of weapon refining had two creation furnaces, namely the Yin-Yang Furnace and this Dragon Pattern Furnace."

"That Yin-Yang Furnace is a top-grade creation immortal treasure, a relic left behind by the Immortal Venerable of Longevity. Later, it split into the Yin Furnace and the Yang Furnace and was taken away by someone."

"The dragon-patterned furnace in front of us is of a lower grade. It was used by the old man in his early years. Its quality is only the lower grade of the seventh rank, which is why our human race preserved it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan vaguely understood the predicament of the human race.

He had already guessed that the Dao Ancestor who had achieved the Fusion Realm had perished back then, and the other two treasure cauldrons had most likely been taken away by the other Celestial Race and the Celestial Demon Race.

"Bring it here."

Just then, Huang reached out to Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan snapped out of his daze and quickly took out the Myriad Transformation Immortal Pagoda and the Three Thousand Mysterious Heavenly Treasures.

Huang glanced at it, his brow furrowing slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "With so many treasures, no wonder you need to use a seventh-order fire vein."

At this point, Huang looked at the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower again, and after a moment said solemnly, "The path you've chosen is too arrogant; it's probably impossible for you to succeed."

"It should be known that the Immortal Venerable of Longevity in those days only achieved immortality through the Great Dao of Longevity."

Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then said, "My heart is set on this path, there is no turning back."

"Sigh." Huang sighed softly, unable to help but ask, "Even if you truly master the twelve laws and possess invincible combat power at the Void Refinement level, how can you possibly integrate them into one?"

"If all the laws cannot be unified, how can one cultivate the rudiments of the Great Dao?"

Ye Linyuan understood that Huang's words made sense. The laws he cultivated were all unique and not just the main laws and branch laws of the same attribute.

In this way, the difficulty of achieving Dao integration will likely increase a hundredfold or even a thousandfold. If this problem is not solved, he will never be able to break through to the half-step integration stage.

However, he had already planned his future path: the Soul of Law.

Since breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, his Divine Soul has not yet completed its transformation and is still a very long way from becoming a Law Soul.

But Ye Linyuan believed that once his divine soul completed its transformation and became a law soul that governs the laws, he would definitely be able to solve this problem.

But this was an unprecedented path, and Ye Linyuan couldn't guarantee he would succeed. Besides, if he told anyone, probably no one would believe him.

Therefore, he did not intend to tell anyone before this path was successfully established.

"Fine, you'd better take care of yourself."

Seeing this, Huang said no more, but began to place the Myriad Transformations Immortal Pagoda and various rare treasures into the refining furnace, and began to use seventh-order immortal fire to melt the various rare treasures. (End of this chapter)
